a plotted starter for @rexaestate !!!
𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐎𝐍. the flaming heart of a black stag had been torn asunder and soon, they would be no more than ashes devoured by the fire that radiated within her children. the dragons had returned and with them, daenerys stormborn. vessels had paved across the narrow sea, fighting the waves in which rippled against such a homecoming. it was said that she had came into the world bringing a storm with her ––– the seven kingdoms near obliterated with every roll of thunder that devoured the realm. and now, as clouds blackened above the brickwork laced with valyrian magic, a downpour had begun. it seemed almost fitting that on the night she returned, that very tempest had too returned with a vengeance, laced with fire and blood.
footfalls ghost over cobblestone in the way her mothers might once have and with each new turn she takes through her ancestral seat, another wave of trauma hits ... as though the sea salt that laps against stone of slate did not hold enough of its own fury. amethysts are ignited and yet, there is little pride that swells within her heart. dragonstone was her home, though it all felt as foreign to her as the tales that viserys once whispered. lilacs do not know quite know where to turn, attempting to acquaint herself with the place in which she had been torn as a babe but nothing is familiar ––– not even the dragons in which adorn hallway walls. doors open as a gust of wind rips through the battlement room, the seven kingdoms painted on the table before her and yet, a figure haunts one of the chairs. blackened hair is kissed by the daylight that steals through the cavernous mouth onlooking the sea, a stark contrast to the silver of her own crown of braids.
steps come to a halt, wondering if it is yet another ghost that she can feel. a grim place the castle was, phantom figures of slain family members littering the fortress ––– though it is confirmed the form in which hues fall upon is no spectre. evidence is is given in the way her hands own mismatch hues cloud with concern, though amethysts do not pay a second longer to tyrion's and instead, allow themselves to cascade upon the man who takes residence here. a lump forms within her throat, searching for the reptilian tongue that spoke with fire and somehow, words deceive her. thick brows stitch together, anguish staining her skin as she steps forward to be met with the features of somebody broken ... somebody who appears to be lost. i must have fire in my eyes, she reminds herself. and as petals part with a newfound strength, sentences readily stringing themselves together as they form within her throat like the breath of a dragon, it is tyrion lannister who steps forward. ❛ ––– your grace, i believe this man to be renly baratheon. ❜
